Next Update Detailed in New Producer's Letter

The latest Letter from the Producer has arrived on the Age of Conan site that is packed with information about the v4.4 update that is scheduled to be released in the near future. Most notably, Unchained raids are explained along with new loot, the PvP 'streak' system and more.

As a part of the ongoing crafting update, we completed the implementation of the gem system (note that they might not actually be called gems in the final version) and have begun to work on the system balance. Toying around with some gem combinations allowed us to create some ridiculously overpowered items – which is why the balance phase that we are currently in is so important for maintaining the integrity of the in-game systems. We’ve begun an overhaul of the top-end of the stat system to add diminishing returns above a certain threshold – this allows us to enforce versatility in the crafting system.
